Valenzuela, Elma Talinting, Don Severino Agricultural College , Indang, Cavite, April 1996. Improvement and Ev.aluation of Guyabano. Seed Remover. Adviser: Engr. Cesar C. Carriaga.
A seed remover was improved and evaluated at the School of Engineering, Don Severino Agricultural College , Indang ,Cavite . It was designed to be pedal operated by one person.
The machine has a height of 1-2 m for ease of operation. The hand drill, container and all moving parts are removable for easy dismantling.
The designed seed remover can remove seeds from a 2—kg of ripe guyabano in 3 minutes while the traditional method ranges from 20—40 minutes. The relative advantage of the machine over the traditional method of seed removal was found to be 666.67%.
The initial cost of the machine is P3, 550 which can be recovered within 104 days of operation. The break even point was computed to 714 hrs/year. The total operating cost incurred by the machine annually was P 18, 078.75.
In addition, the quality of pure guyabano juice extracted was found to be comparable with the commercial one
